"You''ve got the wrong person. I wasn''t the one who took that photo. It was taken by someone passing by that day and then sent to me. This shouldn''t be considered as me infringing upon Mister Sherman''s personality rights, right? Moreover, Mister Sherman looks so handsome! Why hide it? Social media users are moring for more photos of him. After earning so much money, he should give back to the people right?"
Leo would have scoffed if he was not dealing with official business. It seemed like Cecil was not going to admit to his wrongdoing that easily.
"So, does that mean you''re unwilling to take down the photo?"
Cecil continued to beat around the bush. "It''s not that I don''t want to take it down; it''s just that my current situation doesn''t allow me to. It''s not easy for anyone to make a living, you know? If I take it down, it''s like working for nothing, no? You work for money too, so you should know I''m just doing my job."
''Ha, so he''s trying to squeeze money out of us, eh?'' thought Leo.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
Cecil''s hardships were irrelevant to him. Since he was unwilling to take down the photo, then he would see him in court. Moreover, it was only out of courtesy he called Cecil. After all, the legal team had plenty of ways to make this photo disappear online.
Cecil hung up the phone smugly, still admiring his masterpiece. Mere secondster, his entire homepage went dark, and all his posted content vanished.
"What''s going on? Did the server go down? What''s happening? How could this be?"
Cecil kept refreshing the page, but
no matter how many times he tried, his homepage remained nk. However when he clicked on others'' pages, they were all fine. He thought hisputer might have been infected with a virus and hurriedly shut it down and rebooted it.
However, whether on the web or mobile tforms, all he saw was emptiness, with only a lone username left there. Cecil copsed onto the sofa, realizing that all his efforts had been in vain. Cecil was not the only one who noticed this. Other social media users drawn by the hot topic also noticed the anomaly.
[What''s going on? I just saw Sherman''s photos, but now it won''t load!]
[Tsk, tsk, tsk! I have to say, the efficiency of bigpanies is indeed high What else could the reason be? Sherman simply doesn''t want his photos exposed online, and this paparazzo struck a nerve. Just you wait: anyone who posts his photos will get cklisted. If you want to keep your ount intact, it''s better not to mess with him.]
Some social media users still did not believe it and tried to upload the photo of Sherman and ire they had saved. No matter who tried, as soon as they posted the photo, their ounts were quickly identified and then disappeared.
[See? I told you not to try it. You overestimated Sherman''s patience. This is a vition of his privacy and personality rights. You should count yourself fucky that you only have your page erased. This kind of thing can definitely lead towsuits. Unlike you who only earn a pittance every month, Sherman has the time, energy, and money to fight these legal battles.]
Not only were the social media users afraid, but even Cecil was scared. Trembling, he tried to call Leo back.
